8!

Back in 2011, I started blogging as a young pup. Later that year, my son was born. It's hard to believe I've been writing this thing longer than he has been alive.

Today, my little dude turns 8. He just tore through the Pokemon card box we got him as his "big" gift.

Over the years, many of you have been incredibly generous sending him cards. While I've been bad at keeping up the "Joey's Cards" tab on my blog, I hope everyone knows that all the cards sent to him have been designated as such, kept in a binder, or in the instance of Jeter, kept with my most special cards.

Thank you to all who have been nice enough to throw something into trade packages for him. It's truly appreciated, and will always be part of the collection I keep for him. He won't have access to these cards until he's much older, since I'm worried he'll trade one now for some Pokemon GX something or other.

Here is a sampling of what you all have sent over the years, highlighted by the Jeter zapping from ZZ a long time ago!

And a few TTMs!
